Kale & Quinoa Salad

May 03, 2023

This kale and quinoa salad, with satay-esque dressing, comes from Melissa of The Refill Barn in Radwinter, Essex. This salad is perfect for a quick and filling meal. Melissa served hers with some leftover pizza dough with olive oil, za'atar and some perello olives.

Made with our Organic Wholegrain White British Quinoa, this salad would be equally delicious with red, black or mixed quinoa... or even smoked quinoa!

The Refill Barn is a zero-waste shop in Radwinter set up by Melissa and Sam after the pandemic, on a mission to reduce waste and be kinder to the planet. We're delighted that they stock several of our pulses and grains and really enjoy seeing what they make with them on their Instagram.

Coconut Squash Curry with Braised Carlin Peas

April 16, 2025

The firm yet giving nature of roasted squash means it’s able to absorb any flavour you throw at it, in this case a curry paste featuring pineapple and turmeric sauerkraut and coconut chips, resulting in a sweet, spicy dry curry. Nick matched that with a braise of Carlin peas.
